Largemouth BassTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium)SeasonFallStructureSubmerged VegetationThe chain had a lot of pressure dealing with the high school state championship tournament as well as the college tournament as well as opening day for practice for the bassmasters open. With that being said, I was able to find some vibrant hydrilla in south lake griffin with plenty of threadfin shad. A flashy swimmer with the 3.5” largo shad (tail segment left intact) was able to get bites when nothing else was. My boater was throwing speed worms, spinnerbaits, flukes, and lipless crank baits. The largo shad was all they wanted to bite on. With that one bait, I was able to get 16.47lbs in the boat and onto the scales for the win during that tournament. The dock talk proved that everyone else was struggling while I had bite after bite with the bigs being 5.5 & 4.5lbs.

Fish were around hard structures. Around docks and artificial offshore piles. No bites around Kissimmee grass and couldn’t find roaming fish following the bait balls. They wanted the thunder cricket burning fast through the brush piles.

If the bait gets caught up in the grass rip it free and hold on.

We caught fish in griffin offshore on shell with carolina rigs. I downsized to the mag finesse worm to get more bites while others would struggle to get bit with full sized magnum worms.
